this is the way. My counties online library system offers tons of language sources free to me (the county pays for a license I assume)

brendansimms@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Carney to speak with Trump today at high-stakes White House meetingEnglish2·7 days agoI hope Carney spits in his face. No, in his mouth. I hope he spits in trumps fucking mouth.
Found the white paper published by the '‘State Council Information Office of the PRC’. The paper indicates that China cooperated with WHO in doing multi-year, thorough virus origin-tracing and that while they were doing that, the US gov was instead just slandering China and making unsupported conclusions about the virus origins. The paper then says that maybe it originated in the US because the US gov is not cooperating with WHO to perform a thorough, multi-year virus origin-tracing project as well - it reads more like them egging the US on to cooperate with WHO than actually saying it originated in the US.

I can agree that a nuclear arsenal is (or rather, should be) a good deterrent against international aggression, but why does everyone need so many?! I wonder if it has to do with processing i.e. one ‘process’ produces tens or hundreds of warheads worth of material…

brendansimms@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Does Abrego Garcia have ‘MS-13’ tattooed on his knuckles, as Trump claims?2·13 days agoI am gonna give Al Jazeera the benefit of the doubt here and assume that since this article comes from their ‘Explainer’ section, that they purposefully wrote the headline in a way that a person searching for that question would end up at this article. Maybe they are targeting people who would read that headline and think ‘Oh wow does he?’ as opposed to people (like me) who would read that headline and think ‘yea doubt it’
Sci-fi writer Ursula Leguin wrote a book about an anarcho-syndicalistic society called The Dispossessed. In that book, those who ‘opted out’ of this society were barred from enjoying the fruits of the collective labor but could still live on the outskirts and start their own subsistence farm or whatever. Societal control in that story was basically maintained through personal relationships among the community (shame those who don’t want to contribute) whereas the capitalistic society control method is threaten with death by restricting access to resources (home,food,water,etc). I’m not saying public shaming is the best route, but it’s still more humane than work or die.
